Athlete Mindset
“Freeriding is 80% mental and 20% physical”
Reine Barkered, Freeride World Tour Champion.
Our camps go beyond hucking cliffs and skiing steeps. Our experienced athletes and founder, Rachel Findler, will teach you the athlete mindset that will help you manage stress and fear, especially for competition day. We want you to be the best and achieve your full potential. Our Freeride camps teach mindset tools; visualisation techniques, relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditations. All these techniques are used by our FWT athletes to achieve their podium positions.
During our camps in Chile we started our mornings with a meditation session helping the juniors set their mindset for the day and learn different techniques that work for them. In the evenings we have Athlete Mindset sessions where our FWT Champions shared their insights into being professional athletes and competing on the Freeride World Tour. Sharing stories of being resilient & adaptable, longevity as a pro athlete, how they achieved their goals, competition & backcountry safety and lots more.
What else do I need to know?
Where will we stay? We stay in amazing locally owned lodges. We all stay together so you can hang out with FWT athletes off the hill too. Swap ski stories over dinner while you enjoy the delicious meal our private chefs prepare for us. Our chefs serve us breakfast to fuel you for a full day of skiing, packed lunches for the hill and 3 course dinners. (We will enjoy 1-2 dinners in the local town).
Who are the coaches? FTW Athletes & Champions. Check each camp to see who will be coaching you. We also work with local guides and our founder Rachel Findler will help you with your mental game.
How many spots are there? There are up to 20 spots, and we have junior athletes signed up from all over the world. It’s such a great opportunity to make lifelong friends from all ski areas. Coaches - we offer limited spots for IFSA register coaches so please enquire to reserve free your spot!
What age and level do I need to be? 18 and under for our junior camps. We welcome all Feeride levels. There is varied terrain and a line down for everyone. Our camps are a great opportunity to ski off-piste/backcountry for the first time. Or try ski touring for the first time. Our campers this year in Chile ski toured the volcano and said it was the best day of their lives!!!
Is there a Freeride Competition? Yes! The Sud America series is running freeride comps. 2* August 5th and a 3* August 8th & 9th (finals). You will be coached by FWT Champions. They will help you pick a line, assess conditions, and learn to calm competition nerves. You can compete as a competitor or as a friendly. It is optional to enter the freeride comp. If you don’t want to compete, no worries, you’ll be shredding with one of our FWT athletes as usual.
What else do I need to know? This is going to be the best time of your life!! Everything is taken care of as soon as you land. We will greet you at the airport and transport you to the ski resort. If you sign up to both Chile camps we will transport you between the locations.

Parents! Do you have FOMO?
Why should the kids have all the fun? We are offering a trip for parents which will run alongside our junior camps. Check out to see who the Pro athlete is on our parents trips.
